The second open call closed on October 3, 2012 at 17:00 Brussels time. The CREW project received 21 proposals, (co-)submitted by 24 proposers.

Among the proposers are 13 universities and 5 research institutes. 3 proposals were submitted by SMEs, and 3 by industry.  Some proposers were involved in multiple proposals.

Most proposers are based in Europe (in no particular order): Germany, Greece, Finland, Romania, Portugal, Republic of Macedonia, Spain, Belgium, UK, Italy, Ireland, Hungary, Czech Republic. There were also proposals from Brazil (2) and Australia (1).

Some statistics on the budget:

• Total request for funding: EUR 2 236 460 (oversubscription factor: 5.08)
• minimum requested funding per proposal: EUR 73 958
• maximum requested funding per proposal: EUR 120 000
• average requested funding per proposer per project: EUR 82 832

After a thorough review process by external independent reviewers, it was found that the quality of most proposals was good to very good.  Due to budget limitations, only 4 proposals can receive funding as a result of the second open call:

The CREW project thanks all proposers for their efforts. We congratulate the six partners that have become partners of the CREW project!
